Denmark: Unionized rail maintenance staff continue industrial action nationwide, June 13
Unionized rail maintenance staff continue industrial action across Denmark, June 13; rail service disruptions likely. Confirm services.
Event
Unionized railway maintenance workers continue industrial action nationwide, June 13, to demand increased wages. The strike started June 12, when rail services experienced limited disruptions. As of June 13, the rail network operator, Danske Statsbaner (DSB), announced disruptions would likely last for several days. DSB warned that some rail services will be delayed or canceled, and some trains will be formed of fewer carriages.
Overcrowding is likely on available modes of public transport for the duration of the strike. Increased demand for private transport, including taxis and rental vehicles, is also possible. Traffic congestion will likely be heavier than usual as more commuters resort to using their cars rather than public transport. Striking workers are likely to stage protests at transport hubs or rail-operating administrative buildings. These are likely to remain peaceful.
Advice
Consider alternative transport modes for time-sensitive travel and allow additional time for travel to destinations across Denmark, while disruptions continue. Confirm taxi and rental car reservations.
